est the road, with three bullet-holes In
his breast. He was greatly shocked at
this awful turn in their affairs, for he
loved his partner with more then
brothers. affection. Not trace of the
murder or murderers had been left.
The interior of the houre had been I'M
disturbed; the body seemed to be just
as it was when it had fallen in the
throes of death; the deceased's revolver
was at his side, unfired, and there were
no signs of struggle.
AN EVERLASTING TASK.
Perhaps the fatal shot had come from
a hOrseman in the road, who had killed
his victim and gone his way, content
with having gratified revenge. Per
haps it had been an Indian who had
fired from the neighboring thickets OF
the ella and had skunk away in the
shades of evening with his secret in
safe-keeping. Anyhow, the deed was
done, and after seven years it still re-.
manned mystery. The body was
taken up tenderly, and laid out in the:
house, and after one day was put away
under mesquite bush. not fifty
yards from the door. The. survivor
heaped some stones on the grave and
put at the head of it small wooden
cross, and thus it was when | saw it.
The deceased was the cashier of the
firm and died without revealing the
whereabouts of $4,000 of savings. The
survivor did not believe his dead part
ner had dealt dishonesty with him, but
that he had hidden the money away in
the house for safe-keeping. Possessed
of this belief. he had worked from that
day till this to find the money. He had
been digging for seven years every day
a little. throwing the dirt over and
over, belief becoming mania, so that
now he had but one idea, and that idea
is that he will yet find the $4,000 con-
cealed by his partner. He works on
year after year, and will do so till the
hand of death interposes. No female
ever darkenS his door, white men visit
him at rare intervals, the sepulchral
black cat being his sole companion.
He asked us to remain over night, offer
ing us bed on the mud roof, but we
thanked him and drove on to sleep i'll
our blankets on the plain amid the
cheering yelpS of coyotes and the trem-
ulous chorus of the prairie owl. l sup
pose | shall never see the hermit of the
CHA again, but | shall carry with ME
no more distinct remembrance of any
man or any place than of him and his
desOlate-lOoking habitatiOn.

Sign.
In the winter of 1884 an advertising sign
was placed by the representatives of the
Erie road on plank on one of the
islands in the rapids in the Niagara
river. The approaches to the island are
all dangerous in the extreme, being
covered with low cedar bushes. The
sign has long been an eyesore to
the commissioners of the reserva-
ton, and a reward of 500 was
offered to any one who would push
it off, so it would go over the falls.
Jack McClOy, a well-known local char
acter, availing himself of the opportu-
nifty offered by low water, made his way
to the island, rope being tied around
his waist and held by persons on shore.
The peril was great, as the rocks were
Shiny, and the water, though low, run
ming at rate of twenty miles an hour.
He succeeded in reaching the island,
and with steel drill which he carried
with him the sign was removed and cast
into the cataract. The return journey
was somewhat easier with the aid of the
rope. McClOy was loudly cheered when
he stepped on land.

discovery was made of ali alleged ring

were involved and declared off. The

and the hOOfs of the forward feet

intense suffering than did this plucky
animal. When the boots were removed
he put his legs cut SO that the operation
could be madeoand neither squealed nor

The care that was taken of him will be
better understood when it is known that
his owner has Il standing offer OF $4,000

$4,000 before his sickness. He can
stand now only a few minutes each day,
and it will be year before any attempt
will be made to put him in training.

CHEROKEE CHEF.

Mays Not Legally Elected Until the
Votes Are Counted---Latest Regarding
the Troubles.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 21.--Latest information
from the Cherokee nation is that Special
Agent Armstrong, after looking over the
ground, construes the law in regard to
the counting of votes for chief in the
same manner the Downing partisans do,
viz: That no business can be transacttd d
by the national council till the vote for
chief is counted. This is also
the view of the secretary Of the
interior. When Mr.. Bunch arrives
at Tahlequah Col. Armstrong will confer
with him and other prominent nationals,
and some definite action will proba-
bly, be taken. Mr.. Armstrong
says the Cherokees must settle
the difficulty themselves, and the man
they decide for chief will be authorized
by the department.. He apprehends no
trouble, and will see to it that there is
none. It is expected that the council
will be in session shortly, and that a
peaceful effort will be made to settle
matters.

The Cost of Maintaining the New Com

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Ever since the
absorption Of the Baltimore & Ohio Tele-
graph company by the Western Union, a
number of business men who do large
telegraphic business between this city
ard Chicago, have been discussing the
feasibility of forming company to build
and operate line from here to the latter
point. The rental of a private wire from
the Western Union is $4,000 year.
Before tts competition caused by the
Baltimore & Ohio the price was $24 ,OOO
and it is feared now that the opposition
has been gotten out of the way
the Western Union will raise the
rental again. The plan proposed
by these gentlemen provides for the
formation of stock company with a
paid up capital of $500,000. The cost of
operating the wires, it is calculated, will
not exceed $1,000 q year, including re-
pairs, and as there are fifty subscribers
the original cash subscription will be

up the ordinance it is discovered that it

ground that the Globe company pub

merely the enforcement of an explicit

not see how he had any discretion in the
matter, but he appreciates fully the in
convenience of the law to the business
community, and bill has been prepared
in the postoffice department, which will
be introduced in congress by Mr.. Hunt,
which will allow anything not in the
matter of a apersonal communication to
be printed on these envelopes and wrap
pers, provided only that sufficient
spa ce for the legible writing of the ad-
dress is left. No objection to passing
such bill is likely to be made in con-
SreSS.
